The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on July 20, 2025 Pros: reasonable price in kit with the small 16-50; AUTOFOCUS with more effective subject recognition, not infallible of course, even in situations where the D500 went into crisis. Ergonomically I feel good but this is a personal aspect. Cons: Battery charge indicator with no remaining capacity but with the 3 ... on the last, red induces "anxiety" because if you change it immediately the overall duration becomes ridiculous while if you don't change it you risk turning off at an inopportune time. The battery life is extremely shorter than the reflex; I took 3 (EN-EL25A) more than the one equipped. I recently purchased the original MH-32 charger and this seems to have improved the life a bit. No charger in the purchase box. VIEWFINDER DISPLAY DELAY It is not a camera devoted to dynamic scenes due to the delay with which the image appears in the viewfinder which increases framing and composition errors during bursts with "narrow" subject (open discussion here: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=5085804) ROLLING SHUTTER the reading time of the sensor is high and this implies the visibility of the consequent deformations; In silent mode (electronic viewfinder) this phenomenon is evident. BURST The fastest is H continuous extended but the photo taken is displayed in the viewfinder so following correctly (e.g.) a fast flight becomes almost impossible. In H mode, things improve but the delay on the viewfinder remains, which increases the inaccurate results. PLEASURE OF OBSERVATION Compared to the optical viewfinder, the naturalness of light and colors in the most beautiful moments is completely lost ... but since what matters is the result, it is an aspect that is all in all not critical. Opinion: Taken in February 2025 and used quite thoroughly for birdlife in different situations, first with FTZII with 200 500 and then with 180 600. For non-nature photos (walks, tourism etc.) at the moment I continue to use the D7200 with the 16-80 which I find more pleasant than observing the scene thanks to the optical viewfinder. I was right to take it so that I get used to ML technology which has advantages but also, at least in the price/technology range of the Z50II, negative implications. The number of photos lost due to framing errors is compensated by the greater number of photos "hooked" by the AF in complicated background situations; I find this aspect the strong point of this little one. I await without haste the heir Z90 or Z500 which will be ... if it will be! .. I hope it has adequate technology that makes the limitations found negligible or absent. Overall, the effectiveness in use is also there thanks to the 180 600 more manageable as a zoom than the 200-500. |
  | sent on July 18, 2025 Pros: Fast AF, compact, ergonomics, lightweight, customisation, video options (10-bit, N-log). Cons: Battery life and maybe the maximum shutter speed in mechanical shutter 1/4000. 1/8000 of seconds would have been ideal but that's okay. Opinion: I bought this nice little camera in addition to my beloved Nikon Z6 iii and I have to say that I use this Z50 II more for personal and family outings. The camera turns out very light with my main lens the Nikkor 12-28mm VR PZ. The files are lightweight and easily workable on lightroom. What I appreciate most is that I can customize almost any key. I also bought the stabilized Nikkor 18-140mm zoom, IL 27mm f/1.2 and 75mm f/1.2 from viltrox in case of light discharge. For the moment I am very satisfied with the results I get from this machine. |
 | sent on May 16, 2025 Pros: Responsive autofocus, compactness, ISO tightness, image quality and 'lightness' Cons: For now nothing Opinion: Good evening everyone, I state that this is my first post ever on Juza, so I apologize if I skipped some steps. I wanted to write first here, after reading the reviews, and after using the Z50II at a 3-day metal festival. In the reviews, the thing I mainly noticed is that many have written that the cons are battery life. Having never used it before, except for a test photo outside the house, before leaving for the festival I ran for cover and bought a powerbank to take with me. Result? Never used. The first day I produced 650 shots - I only lost a notch of battery. On the second and third days I took more than a thousand photos per evening... Same result: only one notch down. I state that I use the screen only if I have to change the shooting plane, so for the most part I use the viewfinder (and I feel good about it I would say), and... nothing, battery for me excellent! I haven't used the Z50II for video, but I have a GoPro for that. On the autofocus, on the other hand, we all agree: almost excellent, and as you know, at concerts the light really sucks. The rather light and excellent files to work with are a plus, although I admit that a few more megapixels would not hurt but... I have a workstation that is a few years old now, and I'm fine with that. In combination with the Z50II I used the Viltrox 75 f1.2, really good, and I had the nikkor 24mm f1.7 for wider or closer shots. What can I say, I am really satisfied with this camera, an excellent mirrorless under 1000 euros. Little expense, excellent yield. |
 | sent on March 08, 2025 Pros: Scary autofocus, image quality comparable to a d500 (which I own) Cons: Battery that does not last very long especially in slowmotion video Opinion: First experience for me in the Nikon mirrorless world, I must tell you that I didn't expect it! Nice light and with an excellent autofocus and colors, maybe the screen is not too sharp but still you can understand if the photo is out in focus or not (and there are very few blurry photos dinners) I also private some videos, both normal and slowmotion and both are well done and with excellent quality, of course the slowmotion has a small loss of quality but anyway I don't mind at all. Well made menu with lots of settings. Tested with ftz mount 1st version and my nikkor 70-200 f2.8 vrii works great (on a par with the d500 or d7500) |
  | sent on January 25, 2025 Pros: Weight and compactness, AF, ISO tightness, light and workable files Cons: Battery. Opinion: All-rounder machine with its 21mpx does not miss anything, from the excellent iso hold to the good and workable files. The camera holds very well in the hand and Af really good with the recognition of the faces of birds, of animals that it tracks even in difficult situations (sometimes it loses but resumes immediately). Tested with the ftz ii adapter, the tamron 150 600 g2 and other nikon F mount lenses, working perfectly and with very fast af. I bought it with the small and high-performance 16 50 that allows you to always carry it around without feeling the weight. The viewfinder is excellent, not very large but very bright, moreover the adjustable display is comfortable on many occasions such as on the tripod. The always great Nikon classic menu and button customizations are another merit of the z50ii. In conclusion, if you don't have many economic resources, with a millino this camera will not disappoint you with its excellent Af, good viewfinder and a lightness to be envied .... The only drawback: buy yourself three four batteries. |
 | sent on January 05, 2025 Pros: Compatibility, excellent files, iso tightness, animal eye recognition Cons: Battery life Opinion: I bought the Nikon Z50II, as a second body (I already have a Z9) replacing it with the Z6 II, because practicing only nature photography I am interested in animal eye tracking. I must say that he responds very well to expectations, he is not a splinter, but his job does it. The battery life is unacceptable, after 200 shots in raw it already reports the "red"! If you go on you get to 260-280 shots, but I still find it ridiculous. Sometimes 200 shots are taken in a few hours. I understand that the car costs about 1000 euros and you can buy spare batteries or attach a power bank to it, but holy god couldn't they make it cost a little more and offer a decent battery life? |
 | sent on December 21, 2024 Pros: AF, Nikon's signature menu, clean files even at high ISO, weight and overall dimensions Cons: perhaps IBIS and a 24/26 Mpxl sensor would have made it perfect, but that's okay - dedicated DX lenses too few - battery life Opinion: after bitter disappointments regarding the recent Fuji camera bodies with uncertain and fluctuating AF, I decided to abandon the brand (too bad for the wonderful optics) and I bought the Z50 II kit with 16-50, 50-250 and I also gave myself the 180-600 and the 12-28. I went to try it in the beautiful Gran Paradiso park in search of animals unfortunately during a gloomy day. Despite the scarcity of light and therefore using high ISO up to 6400 (and beyond) the little girl responded very well by churning out clean files and adequate colors. AF not infallible, but very responsive and up to the situation thanks also to the recognition of mammals and birds. Of course I want to test it also on the landscape where Fuji excelled but for now I am very satisfied and I hope that in the future Nikon can churn out a professional APS-C body (and a few more DX lenses) so as not to make me regret my D500 too much, which however this Z50 II more than worthily supports. I reserve the right to investigate when I have had it in my hands for a little longer. For trekking photos in the high mountains, weight and dimensions are also a decisive factor, a field in which the little girl and her kit excel. Get a few extra batteries because, especially in the cold, you don't end the day... P.S. I found the LUT button for my kind of photography COMPLETELY USELESS, fortunately you can change it from the menu dedicating it to more interesting functions (for me) |
 | sent on December 12, 2024 Pros: Improved AF, operability and ergonomics compared to the previous one. Excellent proposal for the asking price The lens system available is lightweight but very performing, excellent alternatives from Viltrox to the more than good nikon optics Cons: Nobody Opinion: I had Z50 and I now have a ZFc, the sensor is that but it's a nice apsc sensor, but with the Z50 II the system makes a big leap forward. The expeed 7, the new AF module now transversal to all models and the other functions introduced make it a small compact alternative to a FF kit. Having already a Z9 kit when you have to go light I prefer the nikon dx system. Ideal for tourism, family use and for those where a Z9 and its lenses that I use in the studio, sports, birdlife are not essential. AF has improved but not with the same percentages of on focus as what the expeed 7 can do with a stacked sensor. The operation, however, is close to that of the FF sisters of various sizes. Customizable keys complete the work. I also find the ergonomics improved. At the price proposed for me it is highly recommended |
 | sent on December 06, 2024 Pros: It has remained small and compact .. but very fast Cons: Only the lack of stabilization but it was already announced. Opinion: Nothing new but completely new, A very apt choice of upgrade that makes it a small and compact z6III. Slightly larger, but it grips better, it has still remained small. Fully articulated and reversible screen. Everything faster. Truly complete and super-customizable menus. Suffice it to say that the brightness adjustment in the viewfinder has also been extended to + or - 5 with an additional Lo1 and Lo2 position. Expeed 7 that does its job very well. Burst shooting at up to 30fps. More powerful, complete AF with more focus points that makes it precise and almost foolproof... really amazing. Very fast charging via USB-C port, but there is no longer the charger supplied by now we have resigned ourselves. Finally all the analog controls in their place. The lifting mechanism of the Flash has also been improved, now softer and less plastic. The creative picture control, with dedicated button on the shell, then increases the fun on many occasions.. simplifying them. Only the stabilization is missing, the lack announced, and the stacked sensor. but it would have been of another price .. Since, then, it costs less than its predecessor (predecessor but not used it is cacophonous) Soon I will post some photos but we already know the quality !! NB: the camera has revitalized and enhanced the use of the albeit "poor" Nikon Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR. Who, thanks to the new features, has become an infallible sniper while maintaining the quality we already knew. |
